5.0. Additional reflections on your blog writing

• ... I had written my blog regularly, so I feel I type more quickly than before. In addition, writing blog became one of my habits, so I wrote a lot of posts in this semester and I extended my vocabulary. The more I write my blog, the more I feel fun to write sentences in English. And also, I feel my English skills up through this class.

6.0. Suggestions for your peers and successors

• ...I will suggestion for my successors. It is very important to write blog regularly. Perhaps you feel that writing blog is troublesome thing. At first, but I want you to continue to write your blog. The more you write sentence in English, the more your English skills up! And than I think you will become to like writing blog by degree. I think continuation is most important thing when we study English.
• And then I will suggestion for my peers to continue to write diary in English and I would like to improve my English skills more up with them.

This week, I read ''SALLY'S PHONE'. It is Thursday morning. Sally talks with Andrew who is her boyfriend and has a lot of money on the cellphone. He wants her to meet his new boss, so he ring her. He tell her to wear her blue skirt, because he like this skirt very much. However it is dirty, so she can't were it! On lunchtime, she go shopping to get new skirt with her co worker and get a red skirt. It suits her very much. After shopping, she go to cafe and Paul sit next to her. When he stand up, the red skirt falls on the floor. Then they have different phone; Paul has her phone and Sally has his phone. Finally, they see again and they become good terms. This occurrence change their life!
It is sasy to read this book, so I could read it with fun:)

She lives in Kami Kumamoto, so I went there by train:) First, we went to super market to buy snacks, ingredients of nabe and drinks. She lives by herself, because she is from Fukuoka. After shopping we went to her house and we watched DVDs over eating:) hahaha! She is funny, so I like talking with her very much! When we watched them, her friend came to her house. I saw her for the first time, but I didn't felt so. I was grad to make friends with her. I had really good time with them so much. Thank you very much:)
